“Excellent care! Joyce made sure to send lots of photos during the sitting to let us know our little one was doing great. We highly recommend Joyce and we will definitely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
“Katrina did a wonderful job keeping my 2 pups. They were very well cared for while we were away and she made sure to send several updates and pictures throughout the day. She definitely goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Jasmyne was extremely attentive to my pets during her stay! She followed my written wishes and instructions well and left my home in the same condition she found it. My dogs loved her presence while we were away from home and anytime she needed to leave the house she communicated well which I personally enjoyed! I loved not having to worry about my pets while I was in the hospital. Jasmyne also did a complimentary meet and greet before I needed her to stay so my pets would know her and her scent. Overall I’d recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait to use her in the future.”
“Tay was able to watch my dogs for the weekend In my home and house-sat for 2 nights. From the first time I reached out to her to the last day she was in my home, she was so responsive and very friendly. She provided updates and sent photos of my pups daily. She also left my house just as I left it!! Definitely will re-book with her if she has the availability, no complaints all!!!”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“I hired Lindsey to attend AKC performance dog competition & help handle, walk, & watch my dogs during the event. My dogs loved her right away. She was able to read my dog's behavioral cues during the FASTCAT event & make adjustments that helped improve his score. Anytime she interacted with other dogs you could tell they were drawn to her. She is knowledgeable & kind.”
About: My sister and I raised a litter of kittens when we were younger. I learned all about responsibility and how to handle animals early on. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on most days of the week and weekends. I am great with routines, cleanliness, and playtime. If you have any requests and details, like food and litter box specifics, toys, and schedules, I will gladly take notes.

I also own 3 pets!!!🐾 I work part- time at my job, so I am available on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesday mornings, and Fridays!! I can always squeeze something in if needed!! I have a fenced in yard with no dogs!! My environment is very clean and safe so pets can feel comfortable! Your pets safety is my top priority.

The average cost of House Sitting in Prattville is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $57 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Prattville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Prattville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Prattville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
